@@juliobauer5916 Why do you presume I don't agree the Beatles are the biggest band in history? I don't think they are the best - by far - but I can't and won't deny they were the biggest and probably most influential. No rockband though, poprock at the best, and okay, you can call that rock too. Yes they played rock, and many other genres, but to call them a rock band goes to far imho. Zep is blues btw. And of course I get emotional over music, duh! Real music is emotion. And a band of my own... another unfounded presumption. I have been in the music business for 10 years ('90-'00), and that broadened my vision on music. I can hear if music is good, even if it's not a genre I like. But there aren't that many genres I dislike. So, poprock it is!

If a band member buys a winning lottery ticket does that increase a bands wealth?

Its a difficult number to come up with. Lots of these numbers are personal, and I doubt that the artist is going to share his tax return. Also, if the Beatles are a "company," they are not obligated to share this information with anyone.

@@DavidEVogel In the USA (aside from calculating taxes/ applying for government benefits or financial aid/ negotiating a divorce settlement) no one is obligated to share any financial information with anyone. And all celebrity wealth estimates are just ballpark guesses based on very limited info. For instance you can estimate the value of a person's home but you have no way of knowing how much equity the owner has in it or how many mortgages there are on it. Bruce Springsteen (for instance) was broke until he was 34 and his 7th album became a huge hit in 1984. Most people would have assumed he was rich already by that point.
